A few quick details:
- This is a self supported event - Yes, you are responsible for you! If you gotta pull the plug on the side of the gravel road, be sure you have someone available to pick you up!
- The course will NOT be marked. A cue sheet will be distributed prior to the event.
- All riders are required to have a cyclo computer that can track mileage - Yes, we will verify that you completed the entire distance at the end.
- Riders will be required to purchase a Nebraska Powerball Lottery ticket at each "checkpoint" as proof of reaching the checkpoint.
- The checkpoints will be small town gas station convenience stores. If you need fluids and sustenance, buy it there!
- The distance will be roughly 150 miles with around 8,000 to 11,000 feet of vertical elevation gain.
- This is a free event (except the four to five lottery tickets you gotta buy for a buck).
- The Golden Rule applies to this event. If someone needs help, stop and help out.
